997 TT cab (meteor grey; sand beige/black; black)
Hey guys, I finally got my 997 TT cabriolet Saturday. The three week wait from arrival at port to pickup at dealer was very frustrating, but it's all worth it now of course.
This thing is fast! It's a big step up from a 2000 2.7 Boxster, but it's a lot less scary than I thought it would be. The overtaking performance is the best thing. I'm still waiting far too long for passing places on two-lane roads, as I still can't quite believe how little space you need to execute a safe pass.
I've already installed the SmartTop (I think this is a must for any cab) and hardwired my Valentine 1. There is switched power available from the rain sensor wiring in the dome light (black/orange is switched power; either of the brown wires is ground). I used the V1 hardwire adapter just outside the dome light, and tap connectors from RadioShack inside the dome light housing.
Then, there is a short telephone cable to the V1, which is mounted on suction cups at the top of the windshield on the driver's side of the mirror. I also have a long, completely hidden telephone cable for a remote display on top of the steering column. This goes across the top of the windshield, down the driver's side A-pillar, down the top of the dashboard, and across to the remote display on the steering column. It can be pushed behind the trim with a very small screwdriver so it is completely hidden.
Some pictures attached (before the V1 hardwire).

The day I took delivery of my C2Scab I drove about fifty miles from my dealer and got rear ended
